People who have children due to start secondary school in September 2027 have less than a week to apply for a place.

If your child was born between 1 September 2015 and 31 August 2016 and lives in Peterborough, and you haven't applied for a Year 7 place at secondary school yet - you must do it by Saturday 31 October 2006.

If you apply before the closing date, you will receive your child's school place offer on 1 March 2027. If your application is late, your child is less likely to get into their preferred school.
